Pictured| Chairman Mao and Li Ne
For her father Chairman Mao, Li Ne felt that the spiritual wealth left to her by her father was a priceless treasure, and in the emotional world of her father, Li Ne once used the words of Roman Roland to describe: "The soul of a great man is like the top of the mountain, where the wind blows all year round, the clouds are full of mist, but the breathing is unusually smooth..."
"Dad, I miss you so much"
In the early 1980s, on a morning when no one noticed, Chairman Mao's youngest daughter Li Ne set off from Changsha to Shaoshan...
Although Li Ne was born in Yan'an, she always believed that her hometown was Shaoshan. In 1961, Li Ne, who was ill, said to his father, Chairman Mao, "Dad, I want to go to Shaoshan to see." ”
Chairman Mao saw that Li Ne's body was a little weak, so he did not agree, but shook his head and said, "Let's wait until you are well." ”
However, in the years that followed, although Li Ne also had the idea of going to Shaoshan many times, he never realized it.
Until the death of Chairman Mao, Li Ne's life also lost the joy of the past, she often missed her father, she thought of Shaoshan, thinking that she had not come to Shaoshan for many years, especially when Chairman Mao was alive, she felt deep regret, since chairman Mao's death, Li Ne has been looking for opportunities to come to Shaoshan.
In 1984, Li Ne finally stepped on the train to Shaoshan, this time to Shaoshan, Li Ne did not reveal his identity and name, but asked her husband Wang Jingqing to accompany him, in the Reception List of the Shaoshan Administration Bureau, only Wang Jingqing's chief of staff as the name of the visitor.
After coming to Shaoshan, Li Ne silently watched the mountains and rivers here, grass and trees, the road she walked was the road taken by her father Chairman Mao when he returned to his hometown twenty-five years ago (1959), the wind blew through her ears, she could feel that this was the wind that had blown through her father's cheeks; the stream flowed under her feet, and the sparkling waves seemed to reflect the figure of her father Chairman Mao at that time...

Because there was only Wang Jingqing's name on the reception list, when Wang Jingqing appeared in Shaoshan, everyone surrounded him in the middle and accompanied him to visit a place and a place, while Li Ne was pulled far behind, she looked at her father Chairman Mao's place of life, she only wanted time to pass more slowly, and her heart was talking to this land.
When visiting Chairman Mao's former residence, Li Ne saw some furniture of Chairman Mao's boyhood labor, she gently touched the household furniture used by her father when she was a child, and an indescribable emotion surged in her heart, and tears could not stop swirling in her eyes.
Li Ne constantly touched his father's labor supplies when he was a teenager, and seemed to be able to feel the residual warmth of his father, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.
Subsequently, the group walked out of Chairman Mao's former residence to Xieguping, where there was a sign that read, "This is the place where Comrade Mao Zedong worked when he was a child."
Li Ne looked at the sign he had never seen before, and his mind came up with the way his father worked when he was a child, and his father smiled and called himself "Neva, come soon"...
At that moment, Li Ne could no longer suppress her emotions, she suddenly knelt in the field where Chairman Mao had worked, and a pair of hands were also deeply inserted into the soil where Chairman Mao had worked, tears gushing out like spring water, and her mouth could not stop muttering: "Daddy, I miss you so much..."

Li Ne's sudden movement stunned everyone who came to visit, and everyone did not know what was happening, nor did they know who the woman who suddenly sobbed was.
Seeing this, Wang Jingqing hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd and lifted Up Li Ne, who was kneeling on the ground, and then he gently wiped the tears from Li Ne's face and explained to the visitors: "She is Li Ne, Chairman Mao's younger daughter Li Ne!" ”
When the leader of the Shaoshan Administration Bureau heard this, he quickly walked up and shook Li Ne's hand and said, "Why don't you tell us?" Why are you here? Are you Chairman Mao's daughter? You have returned to Shaoshan, isn't this your home? ”
When Li Ne heard these words, the tears in her eyes fell again, but the tears were no longer sour, and soon, the news of Chairman Mao's young daughter Li Ne's return spread throughout Shaoshan, and people reached over, and Li Ne also put his hands over, a pair of hands, a loud call, this scene also appeared when Chairman Mao returned to Shaoshan...
When he left Shaoshan, Li Ne came to Chairman Mao's former residence, spread out a white handkerchief, and wrapped a handful of dirt, which was a nostalgia for whom, and everyone knew it in their hearts.

After getting into the car that left Shaoshan, Li Ne looked back at the scene of Shaoshan and couldn't help but recall her deep memories and nostalgia for her father, Chairman Mao...
"Big Doll" and "Little Daddy"
In August 1940, Chairman Mao's youngest daughter Li Ne was born in the cave dwellings of Yan'an in northern Shaanxi, at that time, Mao Anying and Mao Anqing were still studying in the Soviet Union, Li Min also went to the Soviet Union to meet with his mother He Zizhen, Chairman Mao, who was more than half a hundred years old, very much needed his children to soothe his overworked soul, and Li Ne's birth brought great comfort to Chairman Mao.
According to Jin Maoyue, director of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department who was in charge of delivery at the time, "The chairman was particularly happy after hearing (having a child), and when the chairman saw the child, he really couldn't see enough with his arms around him, and he didn't hold his relatives enough..."
Since Li Ne's birth, Chairman Mao has often accompanied her, and even when he grew up, Chairman Mao could not bear to let Li Ne leave him, and at that time, despite Chairman Mao's busy work, he did not send Li Ne to the nursery.
Therefore, in Chairman Mao's home, whether he was working intensely, or holding meetings, or visiting friends, or talking freely with foreign friends, the lively and likable Li Ne was always interspersed.
According to Li Ne's recollection: "I remember when I was a child, I was most willing to take my father for a walk, because when he left his desk, he would play with me all the time, and when my father saw me pulling him, he would happily come out with me..."
During the war years, Chairman Mao always worked day and night, and the staff always racked their brains in order to allow Chairman Mao to rest a little longer, and since Li Ne was born, it was no longer a difficult task to persuade Chairman Mao to rest for a while.
Whenever the staff saw that Chairman Mao was tired from work, but still refused to rest, they would push the innocent and lovely Li Ne into Chairman Mao's office, and whenever Chairman Mao saw his daughter, even if he was busy, he would put down the work in his hand, or tease Li Ne to play for a while, or take Li Ne out for a walk, and when he walked, Chairman Mao would tell Li Ne stories, teach her to recognize words, teach her to be a polite and civilized child, and from then on, Chairman Mao and Li Ne had the nickname of father and daughter: Chairman Mao's name was Li Ne." Big doll", Li Ne called Chairman Mao "Little Daddy".
When Li Ne was very young, he always liked to build houses on the ground, dig caves and so on, sometimes, Chairman Mao was tired of work, walked out of the caves, saw Li Ne playing with himself, Chairman Mao would always go up and play with Li Ne, he would teach Li Ne how to design and dig caves, very serious, Chairman Mao saw that there was still water on the ground after the rain, he would try to guide the water to the dug caves, and said: "There is no one in the caves, how to do it, Man wants to drink water. ”
When Chairman Mao played with Li Ne, he was as serious and dedicated as he was at work, and for this reason, Li Ne also said: "When I was a child, I thought that my father was my best friend. ”
In March 1947, Chiang Kai-shek mobilized more than 200,000 troops of Hu Zongnan to carry out a key attack on northern Shaanxi, for this reason, the CPC Central Committee decided to take the initiative to evacuate Yan'an, and after the central organs and the people were evacuated, Chairman Mao took Li Ne to evacuate Yan'an.
However, the arduous battles, long-distance treks, and harsh environments that crushed Hu Zongnan's key offensive no longer allowed Chairman Mao to keep Li Ne by his side, and for this reason Chairman Mao had to agree that Li Ne would follow some of the family members of the central organs across the Yellow River and enter a safer Shanxi.
At that time, despite the heavy war, Chairman Mao was still worried about the news of his daughter, and Chairman Mao's concern for Li Ne was always inadvertently revealed in his pen, and when Chairman Mao wrote to Mao Anqing, he did not forget to remind his son to care about his sister: "Did you write a letter to Li Ne?" She was very close to us, and she often sent her paintings, and she was in good health. ”
Chairman Mao has not been separated from li ne since he was born, and after this separation, li ne often sends chairman Mao his own paintings, and whenever Chairman Mao sees Li Ne's paintings, he always has to look at them for a long time, and the smile on his face will last a long time.
Half a year later, Hu Zongnan's key offensive had reached the end of the crossbow, the situation had improved, Chairman Mao immediately met with Li Ne, and the long-lost people looked forward to a reunion. Good doll! Daddy wants to spoil you! ”
After Li Ne saw Chairman Mao, she also opened her arms and trotted all the way into her father's arms, she tightly wrapped her arms around Chairman Mao's neck and sweetly shouted: "Little Daddy, good Daddy, I want Little Daddy every day!" ”

Since then, Li Ne has never been separated from Chairman Mao, and in the years since, Li Ne has slowly grown up in the warmth of Chairman Mao's big hands and small hands, and Chairman Mao is also very strict with Li Ne while loving Li Ne.
In the winter of 1947, when Chairman Mao came to Yangjiagou in northern Shaanxi, the grain supply was very difficult, and basically he ate black beans from the old base area of the Jinsui Military Region to support northern Shaanxi.
Once, during a meal, when Li Ne saw that everyone's mouths were black, she smiled and said to Chairman Mao, "Father, you see, the mouths of aunts and uncles are black." ”
When Chairman Mao heard this, he put down the chopsticks in his hand and said to Li Ne in a serious tone: "Don't laugh, the uncle of the People's Liberation Army in the front won the battle by eating black bean rice." Black beans are delicious, and eating black beans can also grow fat and tall. You should also bring chopsticks and aunt to eat black bean rice. Listen to Dad, you must be a good boy in the future. ”
Since then, Li Ne, who is only 7 years old, often eats black bean rice with his uncles and aunts, and Li Ne has never complained about this.
"These 3,000 books behind me are the only inheritance my father left me"
During the turbulent war years when there was a lot of artillery fire and uncertainty, Li Ne was still unable to go to school when he was six or seven years old, and Chairman Mao thought very carefully about Li Ne, teaching Li Ne to write and count when he had time, and he personally entrusted a nurseryman to teach Li Ne a lesson.
Later, after Chairman Mao arrived in Xibaipo, the environment was relatively stable, and Chairman Mao arranged for Li Ne to follow Teacher Jiang Ying to study, and it was from then on that that Li Ne began to receive primary school education.
In the year of the founding of New China, Li Ne had just turned 9 years old, and Chairman Mao sent her to Yuying Primary School to study in the third grade.
Since entering Yuying Primary School, Li Ne can only go home once a week, and every time he goes home, Chairman Mao will meet with his daughter, in addition to caring about her life and physical condition, Chairman Mao is most concerned about study.
Chairman Mao's most frequent request to those around him was to read more, and of course this included his two daughters, Li Min and Li Ne, who often listened to Chairman Mao's teachings in Zhongnanhai at that time.
When Li Ne was in the fourth grade, Chairman Mao let her read Tang poems, let her memorize famous passages such as "Pipa Line" and "Long Hate Song", and personally selected ancient historical poems for Li Ne, Li Min and other children.
In addition, Chairman Mao also advocated that children be exposed to the essence of Chinese literature from an early age, and when Li Ne was in the fifth grade, Chairman Mao let her read "Dream of the Red Chamber".
When many leading comrades learned that Chairman Mao had asked Li Ne to read "Dream of the Red Chamber," they said to Chairman Mao one after another: "Chairman, I am afraid that this will not work, Li Ne is still so young and has no ability to judge, so it is very dangerous." ”
But Chairman Mao said: "You don't let her look at it and never have the ability to distinguish, she has the ability to distinguish in the process of watching." ”

Chairman Mao did not give up after letting Li Ne start watching "Dream of the Red Chamber", and every Sunday, Chairman Mao would eat with the children, and in the process of eating, Chairman Mao would ask Li Ne: "Where did you see?" What's going on? ”
After hearing Li Ne's answer, Chairman Mao would begin to analyze the characters one by one.
Recalling those years, Li Ne once smiled and said: "My father is very free, let you go on your own, but he grasped very tightly, lest you get lost, always tell you very carefully, so that we first look, think with our brains, and then listen to my father's explanation, naturally accept a lot of things, so my father is really doing nothing, not wrong at all." ”
In 1953, Li Ne graduated from primary school, was admitted to the Affiliated Girls' High School of Beijing Normal University, and his sister Li Min had a school, at that time, Chairman Mao, in order to prevent children from having a sense of superiority, asked his two daughters not to tell the school and others the names of their parents.
When Li Ne was in middle school, he was already a "doctor" in the eyes of his classmates, and he was involved in more ancient and modern Chinese and foreign literature and history books, and chairman Mao's help and supervision were indispensable to this.
When she was in junior high school, Li Ne would memorize many ancient poems, and as long as it was a poem circled by her father Chairman Mao, Li Ne would basically copy it in her own book, and she would often pick it up and read it.

In the summer of 1959, after graduating from high school, Li Ne was admitted to the History Department of Peking University with excellent results, which was more related to the direct influence of his father Chairman Mao.
In 1960, just in time for the three-year period of difficulty, a large-scale natural disaster occurred throughout the country, and the newborn republic was thus faced with tremendous difficulties and challenges, and the problem of the common people throughout the country was generally hungry.
At that time, Chairman Mao took the lead in reducing his grain rations at home, and in addition to this, Chairman Mao insisted on not eating meat or eggs for a long time, and for a long time, Chairman Mao's legs were so swollen that they pressed down on them into a deep pit, and the staff members were sad to see Chairman Mao like this.
As for Li Ne, Chairman Mao also asked her to eat in the big canteen at school like a child of ordinary people, but as long as Li Ne came home from vacation, Chairman Mao would still let the kitchen do everything possible to make some delicious food for his daughter to beat her teeth.
At that time, Li Ne did not know that his father Chairman Mao ate green vegetables every day, and he rarely went home to eat the family's meals, and thought that the family ate very well, so every time he returned home, Li Ne would devour a meal.
Later, when Li Ne learned the real situation, she was also very sad in her heart, but Chairman Mao never told Li Ne this, and when eating with his daughter, Chairman Mao always ate a few bites and did not eat, he tried his best to save some for his daughter to eat, which was also a piece of love as a father.
During that time, Chairman Mao also asked Li Ne not to bring snacks, let alone allow her to add food, and Li Ne always survived the difficulties like the people of all China.

In the summer of 1966, Li Ne graduated from the history department of Peking University, and in September, she was assigned to the "People's Liberation Army Daily" as an editor, and a year later, the excellent and self-motivated Li Ne became the editor-in-chief.
After going to work, Li Ne lived in the single dormitory of the People's Liberation Army Newspaper, and the box she put on her clothes was very worn, but she cherished it very much, and some comrades did not understand, so Li Ne once smiled and touched his own box and said: "This is what my father used in the past." ”
Li Ne also never took a car in the newspaper, riding a bicycle in and out all year round, one day when it snowed heavily, she rode her bicycle on the way home, and the leading comrade said after seeing it: "You don't want to ride a bicycle, I will send a car to take you back." ”
After hearing this, Li Ne hurriedly stopped: "Good uncle, don't send a car, Dad knows that he wants to criticize." ”
Whether in school or at work, Li Ne always maintained a rigorous and frugal style, and Chairman Mao was very satisfied with this.
In 1970, Li Ne came to the "May Seventh Cadre School" of the Central General Office located under the Jinggang Mountain in Jiangxi Province, and at this time Li Ne was 30 years old, and many old comrades were very concerned about her lifelong affairs, chairman Mao was no exception, but Chairman Mao never urged, only said: "I will not interfere with her marriage, it is okay to find a worker, and the peasants can do it." ”
During the labor period, Li Ne met Xiao Xu, a waiter at the Beidaihe Management Office, and soon the two fell in love, and soon after, Li Ne applied to the organization for marriage.
After Chairman Mao clearly understood the situation of Li Ne and Xiao Xu's acquaintance and acquaintance, he immediately gave instructions on Li Ne's marriage application: agree.
In this way, with chairman Mao's consent, Li Ne and Xiao Xu married, and when Li Ne got married, Chairman Mao also sent guards to send them a set of "The Complete Works of Marx and Engels."
This set of books is the only wedding souvenir that Chairman Mao gave to Li Ne, and she has always treasured it.
However, li ne and xiao Xu separated shortly after they got married, and when they separated, Li Ne was pregnant, and not long after giving birth to the child, Li Ne and Xiao Xu divorced.
When Chairman Mao learned the reason for Li Ne's divorce, he was very distressed, but he did not interfere, and in the years that followed, Chairman Mao often thought of Li Ne, and after learning that her life was not very good, he also sent someone to allocate funds to her.
Chairman Mao's love for Li Ne never hung on his lips, he hoped that his daughter could have simple and ordinary happiness, but Chairman Mao could not see the day when his daughter had happiness.
On September 9, 1976, the great people's leader Chairman Mao passed away, when Li Ne learned of this news, she felt that the sky was about to fall, for her, her father Chairman Mao was her spiritual sustenance, and her father's departure made her spiritual world suddenly fall into the freezing point.
For some time after that, Li Ne often missed Chairman Mao and thought of her father, and her tears could not stop falling, but it was precisely by faith in her father Chairman Mao that Li Ne spent the most difficult days alone.

In 1976, shortly after Chairman Mao's death, the General Office of the Central Committee informed Li Ne to ask her to take back Chairman Mao's inheritance, and soon Li Ne came to the office of the General Office of the Central Committee, and the person in charge told her: "You can take back some of the books that Chairman Mao read as a souvenir." ”
Li Ne looked at the books that his father Chairman Mao had read, and his tears could not stop falling: "This is the only thing my father left me." In the end, Li Ne took back the 3,000 books that Chairman Mao had read as a legacy left to her by Chairman Mao.
Today, Li Ne has become an ordinary person with simple and ordinary happiness, she lives like thousands of people, but in her heart, she still does not forget the excitement left to her by her father Chairman Mao...
